QC Featured in Deeply Problematic Article
bethcarielle:
The feminist blog Deeply Problematic (http://www.deeplyproblematic.com/) is hosting a series of articles about the female characters of QC.
It's a good read and honest (positive!) critique of the comic.
Today's posting: http://www.deeplyproblematic.com/2010/08/women-in-questionable-content-women-run.html
There is also a previous article about the normalization of disability and Faye and Hanner's role in that. http://www.deeplyproblematic.com/2010/06/disability-and-comics-how-questionable_08.html
Thank you, Jeph, for creating realistic female characters!

I'm a chemist and I spent some time wondering about "cis". "What's 'cis'? I get 'trans' and all...". Then I got it. It wasn't a strange code. It was exactly what it meant... the opposite of trans is cis! The chem geek in me asploded for joy.
Also. YAY JEPH!
Dliessmgg:
When I read cis I was thinking German for c# and cos+i*sin. Cue confusion.
Carl-E:
Yeah, I had to wikipedia it. There's a gender role disambiguation, or I'd never have figured it out. I sure wouldn't have though to look in chemistry!
All I could think of is Computer and Information Sciences, which means I've been in education for way too long!
Jace:
My favorite QC female is the one with psychological issues.
